I've not had the problem myself but remember reading, on here I think, that the rubber stops on the boot lid can be screwed in/out to change their length. Being too far out stops the boot catch engaging fully. Maybe try !Removed! them in further, unless the problem is that despite being shut correctly it pops open? Don't hold me to any of this though, just going by what I've read!

Mine did it a year ago, then seemed to stop, was all right through Summer, then refused to unlock on the Central Locking though would unlock with the key button. The electric latch was replaced under warranty. I believe this is a pretty commn fault on Fiestas and Focuses.
